It’s on! We had such a great response to the HoneyBadgers and their work that we’re rolling the same program for anybody looking to kick off their own weight loss program. Starting on Tuesday, April 24th at 5:30pm! (I think we said 29th this morning on the air, so check your calendars, the 24th is the correct date). We’ll run for 6 weeks, meeting every Tuesday and Thursday at 5:30 for an hour. Class size is limited so email me at jt@movefitness.us to reserve your place.
Absolute total beginners are 100% welcome. Let’s get your weight loss goals kicked off now!
Class includes:
12 60min sessions of combines cardio/strength conditioning
Weekly homework to keep you on track between class times
Nutritional tracking and guidance to help establish sustainable, healthy nutritional habits
Weigh in assessment on day 1 and weigh out on day 6
I’m irregular with the training recaps even though I keep asking you to log on and list times, loads, etc. I will get better. Starting now.
Two lessons from today.
#1: Do Not Cheat Yourself Out of Something New!
9 out of 10 chances that these movements are new to you. New things are hard. New things are scary. New things aren’t comfortable. And you know what? They’re going to stay hard, uncomfortable and scary until you take the time to really learn and accept the new things. A kettlebell snatch isn’t an easy movement to learn, let alone achieve a high level of proficiency at. Athletes spend years and years perfecting their technique. But it doesn’t take years and years to learn an operable snatch. Push through the unknown and unfamiliar. Get familiar and then get on with the business of getting better.
#2 Work to Your Ability!
I can almost guarantee I’m going to sound like a broken record on this for the next 6 months or so. The tempo of class is like a siren’s song. It drives you forward. It dares you to push harder and faster. It challenges you to push the envelope of your own abilities. And that’s a good thing. It’s good so long as you remember to listen to your body. Push it, but stop when you need to. Exceed expectation, but keep an ear to the ground and listen to the messages your body is sending you. Stop for a breath. Stop for hydration. Then MOVE! Stop only as long as you need. In taking care of yourself, do not get lulled into resting until everything is comfortable, butterflies and unicorns again. Rest just enough to get your wind back for another rep, to refocus on the technique you may have just been letting slip, to quiet the “can’t” in your head and get back to the business moving.
Awesome work folks. Congratulations to Edna and Mary, two rookies that came from behind in an awesome sprint across the finish line in today’s last event. For the effort, I’m looking forward to seeing them at Body Dynamics studio for the two free small group training sessions they won. Awesome work. Kayla and Michele…dude. So close.
See everybody on Tuesday at 7am and 6pm in Kapiolani.
If you want to reserve a space in the small group (semi private sessions) training, email me at jt@movefitness.us to reserve a space. Small group is every M/W/F at 12pm, 2pm & 6pm.
The countdown is on. MOVE Fitness & Training is rolling out the first training series in our Honolulu group training schedule.
I am so excited about this! In less than 1 week, a new evolution in training hits Waikiki. More Russian invasion than bootcamp, this is a combination of competitive kettlebell training, sandbags, body weights, rope conditioning, TRX, parallettes…Dude, the list just goes on and on.
Faster, fitter, stronger. That’s what we’re all about. Now to the good part, the when and where.
Beginning Thursday, Feburary 24th, we’re meeting in Kapiolani Park right next to the tennis courts. Look for the big black and white “MOVE Fitness and Training” banner. We’ll be there every Tuesday and Thursday at 7am and 7pm. Sessions are $20 each or 4 for $72.
I’m going to bring the kettlebells. I’m going to bring the jump ropes. I’m going to bring the sandbags, medicine balls, heavy ropes, rings and all the rest.
You bring water, a towel and a desire to work with as much focus and dedication as humanly possible.
Complete 10 Rounds of 10 Repetitions of the Following. Record Your Time and Any Modifications You Had To Make.
Pistol Demo Video Posted Below
Burpee Box Jump*
Pullups (assisted if needed)
Pistols
Dips (assisted if needed)
*Begin with a burpee. When jumping up from the ground, perform a box jump. Jump down from the box (if you’re comfortable jumping back and down, step down otherwise) and into the next burpee.
Over 4 rounds, the double pump reps remain the same. All others in crease by 5 reps each rnd. Beginner men/women look at starting with a 12lbs/8lbs med ball and a 16kg/12kg kb. Advanced people you might want to start around 20lbs/16lbs (for men/women) and 24kg/16kg. Whatever you decide listen to your body and make adjustments if you need. Be safe. Record times and loads.
And now for something completely different. A while back I posted up a video about making your own indian clubs out of plumbing parts from Home Depot. That video can be found here.
Well as promised, they’re back. If you haven’t made the initial investment, I promise you won’t regret it. I’ve had a complete blast integrating these things into my training over the past few months. Here’s the first video and a couple of movements to get started with.
